Hellgate Beta Opens

The promised open beta testing of Hellgate is now underway, offering players the chance to evaluate the free-to-play MMORPG based on Hellgate: London, the failed action/RPG from defunct developer Flagship Studios. Here's word on testing:

Hellgate will celebrate the Open Beta launch with four special events to reward and entertain the growing Hellgate community - the Guild Reservoir event, the Daily Supplies event, the To Level in Hell event and the Level and Be Rewarded event, each awarding top players with valuable prizes. Additionally, the Open Beta will feature two new game modes – the PvP Duel Area and the zombie-infested Cow Room. Finally, there is a special prize waiting for everyone upon entering the Hellgate Open Beta today.
